  • Physiology of the Joints

    Volume 2 Lower Limb
    • 6th Edition
    • I. A. Kapandji
    • English
    Now in its sixth edition, The Physiology of the Joints Volume Two - The Lower Limb is illustrated in full colour, rewritten and enriched with new text. Conceived and written over forty years ago, it has brought back to centre stage biomechanics, which previously was dismissed as anecdotal in works on human anatomy. As a result of this impetus every work on anatomy nowadays covers in depth the functional features of the locomotor apparatus; in short, biomechanics has become a science that cannot be ignored. This book will be a valuable text for manual therapists, physical therapists, massage therapists, and osteopaths interested in the biomechanics of the human body.
